2 ARTICULATION AGREEMENT (hereafter referred to as HCC), a community college in Harford County, Maryland, and the (hereafter referred to as UB), a public state university in Baltimore, Maryland and a member of the University System of Maryland, agree to offer an articulated program leading to the award of a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.). PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT This agreement is entered into in the interests of our students. The general purpose of this agreement is to make clear the terms of this articulation agreement. This agreement will allow for the efficient transfer of students between campuses, including transfer credit, admissions and financial aid/scholarship. It will provide opportunities for students beyond the classroom, serving as a basis for student involvement and faculty interaction. It will set expectations for administrators, faculty and staff at both institutions, and foster a working relationship between the parties. Finally, it will encourage students to continue their education for their own personal and professional development. ADMINSTRATIVE PRINCIPLES The following general principles guide the operation of this Agreement: 1. The program is designed for graduates of the Associate of Sciences degree in Business Administration at HCC. A maximum of 63 credit hours from HCC will be allowed towards fulfillment of the one hundred twenty (120) credit hours required for baccalaureate completion. 2. In accordance with Code of Maryland Regulation, all courses meeting general education requirements at HCC will transfer to UB as general education. Other general education requirements will be met by using required or elective courses at UB as noted in this agreement. 3. The maximum number of credits that will be accepted by UB toward degree requirements from non-direct classroom instruction (including CLEP, AP, other nationally recognized standardized examination scores and other four-year institutions) is 30 credits. If the course is evaluated by HCC and applied to the Business Administration degree, UB will accept the course automatically as a transfer course. If the credit is not on the HCC transcript, the student may submit the score report to be evaluated by UB and credit will be applied as determined by UB s evaluation. Credit awarded for experiential learning ( life experience ) if awarded by HCC is recognized by, and is transferable to, UB. It is possible that not all transferable credit accepted by UB will be applicable to the degree. 4. Credit hours completed at any Maryland state public 2 or 4-year institution, and accepted as transfer credit by Harford, will count toward the total credits transferred into UB. Official transcripts from all previously attended institutions will be required.

3 5. Once the associate s degree is completed and the student has been admitted to UB, the student will be instructed to contact the appointed academic advisor and register for classes. 6. While HCC and UB do not presently have a dual admissions program, should one be agreed to, this agreement will not preclude students from participation and students may apply for and receive the benefits of dual-admission. 7. Students may complete the UB curriculum part-time or full-time, online or face-to-face, or in any combination thereof. 8. This articulation agreement becomes effective on the date set forth on the first page of this document. This agreement will be reviewed biennially, and appropriately marked as such. 9.
